- Vision Dreaming Exercise:
Optional Pre work exercises:
Vision Dreaming Exercise: Imagine you are hosting a senior night in 5 years. Someone who graduated this year returns to the chapter and hears a senior give testimony about how the chapter has grown during their past four years. They write a letter to one of their peers who wasn’t able to be at the event. This alumnus describes the fruit of the decisions made at CFW this year. What would they write? Give them time to write letter and then take turns reading them to each other. If not enough time during Sunday evening session another option is to sprinkle them throughout the week. Debrief each letter: What did you hear? What are you learning about yourself? The chapter? The campus? God? What are next steps?

Sunday - Retreat of Silence 3
Sunday
Retreat of Silence Arrival and settling in: Settling in: Walk, explore, observe surroundings, rest Looking back: How am I entering the week?
1. How have I arrived here? What do I feel gratitude for? What encouragements have come to me recently? What weariness do I feel? What burdens weigh on me? What would I like to bring to Jesus?
2. How am I doing emotionally? What am I angry/mad about? Sad about? Anxious about? Glad about?
a. Jesus’ Invitation: (Matthew 11:28-30) Meditate on Jesus’ invitation, and how you want to respond to him:
b. Arrival prayer: What do you want God to do for you? (consider journaling or even praying out loud)
Looking Back: Personal: 1. How has God met you this past academic year? Consider these few events to
refresh your memory: new student outreach, first large group, small group, mid-terms, Cross Training, new friends, road trips, Winter Conference, spring break, finals, CFW.
2. What did you learn about God and about yourself? Ministry: 1. How have you seen God work through the ministry of InterVarsity on your campus?
Did anyone become a Christian this year? Did you, or someone you know, make significant Lordship decisions?
2. What have been the ups and downs of your ministry this past year? Looking Forward:
Personal: 1. In what ways do you hope to meet God this summer? This next school year? 2. What experiences, relationships and decisions will draw you closer to Jesus? And
which ones will draw you further away? Ministry: 1. Where do you hope to see God at work through the ministry of InterVarsity on your
campus next year? Who can you help draw closer to Jesus? 2. What opportunities and challenges await you?
During this week at CFW we are going to be spending time daily in the Exodus. Prepare your hearts and minds now by reading Exodus 1-18 to acquaint yourself with the story of Exodus.
Sunday - Goal Setting 6
Goal Setting This document provides a general rule of thumb for setting growth goals in our cohort. You are free to deviate from these goals, but you ought to have a strong reason why and your AD and your Coach (or Lead Coach if your coach is on sabbatical) will need to sign off on the goal.
Overall Growth Goal (what you want for your 2016 AFR):_____________ If deviating from rule of thumb, what factors lead you to choose that goal?
Overall Growth Rule of Thumb Moderate Growth Goal: Chapters < 100 → Grow chapter by 10 students Chapters > 100 → Grow chapter by 10% Aggressive Growth Goal: Chapters < 100 → Grow chapter by 20 students Chapters > 100 → Grow chapter by 20%
What is your Conversion Goal for the 2016 AFR: ____________ If deviating from rule of thumb, what factors lead you to choose that goal?
Conversion Rule of Thumb If history of no conversions: Aim for growth rate: 4% of overall number If history: Aim for growth rate: 8% of overall number
What is your Fall 2015 NSO Contact Card Goal: ______________ If deviating from rule of thumb, what factors lead you to choose that goal?
Fall NSO Rule of Thumb: Take your Growth Gap and multiply by 10 (2016 AFR Overall Goal - 2015 AFR) + (2015 AFR*.25) = Growth Gap Example: Chapter 2015 AFR is 100 Goal is to grow chapter to 110 students on 2016 AFR In general you can often assume a 25% attrition from AFR so you will lose 25 students by August 2015 (110 - 100) + (100*.25) = 35 Growth Gap
7
We need to grow by 35 students to reach 2016 AFR Goal. Thus our NSO contact card goal is 35*10=350 contact card
What is your 2016 JNSO contact card goal: ___________ If deviating from rule of thumb, what factors lead you to choose that goal?
JNSO Rule of Thumb: Same as Fall NSO contact card goal, re-calculate the Growth Gap by taking the difference between the FFR and the AFR goal. Growth Gap = 2016 AFR Overall Goal - 2015 FFR Overall number Example: Chapter of 100 on FFR 2015 2016 AFR Goal is 110 Growth Gap: (110-100) = 10 JNSO Contact Card Goal: (110-100) * 10 = 100 We need 100 JNSO contact cards
What is your goal for numbers of Leader of Leaders (LOL) for 2016 AFR:_________ If deviating from rule of thumb, what factors lead you to choose that goal?
Number of Leader of Leader Rule of thumb 1 leader of leader for every 25 students in your overall growth goal. Round up. (i.e. a chapter of 110 would need 5 LOLs)
What is your goal for number of Leaders for 2016 AFR: __________ If deviating from rule of thumb, what factors lead you to choose that goal?
Number of Leaders Rule of thumb Rule of thumb is 1 student leader for every 5 students in your overall growth goal: (ie a chapter of 100 would need 20 leaders)
What is your goal for the number of Apprentices for 2016 AFR: If deviating from rule of thumb, what factors lead you to choose that goal?
Number of Apprentices Rule of thumb 1 apprentice for every leader
What is your goal for number of SGs for 2016 AFR: _________ If deviating from rule of thumb, what factors lead you to choose that goal?
Number of SG Rule of thumb 1 small group for every 10 students in chapter: (ie a chapter of 100 needs 10 small groups)
Monday - Quiet Time (9am-9:30am) 8
Monday
Quiet Time (9am-9:30am) Enter (5 minutes)
Spend a few minutes in silence before the Lord. Praise Him for His character. Confess the distractions and worries that keep you from fully worshipping him this morning. Thank Him for his gracious patience with you. Intercede on behalf of your family and your chapter.
Scripture Study (15 minutes)
Read Exodus 3 slowly a couple times through. Ask the Holy Spirit to speak to you through the reading of the text. Begin to mark up your manuscripts with observations you are making of key words, repetitions, cause and effect relationships, etc. Also write down a couple questions you have from the passage. (Your personal study of passage will help you later during communal manuscript time).
Respond (10 minutes) Choose one of these two responses:
1. Reflect on how God called you into leadership. Share your story with
a co-leader later in the day.
2. As you step into leadership, what questions are you still wrestling
with? What questions are you asking God? Your staff? Your co-
leaders? Share these questions with God during this time and with a
fellow student leader sometime during the day.
Manuscript (9:30am-10:45am) Study Exodus 3 in large group
Tuesday - Quiet Time (9am-9:30am) 9
Tuesday
Quiet Time (9am-9:30am)
Enter (5 minutes) Spend a few minutes in silence before the Lord. Look around you and notice the beauty of God’s creation this morning. Give him thanks for being Creator.

Scripture Study (15 minutes)
Read Exodus 4 slowly a couple times through. Pay attention to the particular words and images that jump off the page. Use colored pencils to help bring these things to your attention and make connections in the passage.
Respond (10 minutes) 1. Reflect on where you feel inadequate as a leader. Who or what might the
Lord be providing for you? Share with a fellow leader today.
2. Maybe you’re an Aaron for someone. Who might that be? What is God
calling the two of you to do?

Tuesday - Ways of Dealing with Conflict 10
Ways of Dealing with Conflict
AVOIDANCE Description: Does not move into situations of potential conflict Withdraws from situations of actual conflict May value both relationship and task
Driving attitude: “Nothing good is accomplished by conflict.”
Strengths: Use when issue is trivial/not important Use when time is needed to think and pray Use when time is needed for people to cool down Use when danger is imminent Use when relationships are too fragile for conflict
Weaknesses: Issue(s) may not disappear Often results in pent-up tension/frustration Important things (growth in relationships, completion of tasks, etc.) may be sacrificed
ACCOMMODATION Description: Opposite of competing Places high value on relationship; lower value on task “gives in”/ denies own preferences and or sense of what is best or right in deference to others Driving attitude: “Peace at any price.” Strengths: Use when issue is not important to you, but important to others Use to build up “love points” or trust Use when you are wrong Use when others need to learn through experiencing the consequences of their position/way Weaknesses: Important things related to task may be sacrificed Others may take advantage of you, knowing that you will “give in”
COMPETITION Description: Opposite of accommodation Places high value on task (winning, moving ahead, etc.), lower value on relationships Pursues/fights for own preferences and/or sense of what is best or right regardless of others
Driving attitude: “Win at any cost.”
Strengths: Use when issues is a biblical absolute Use when a quick decision is needed (e.g. emergency)
Weaknesses: Important things related to relationships may be sacrificed. Others may not be honest with you knowing that you will “fight” to win
COMPROMISE Description: Values both relationship and task Works for an expedient, mutually acceptable solution through giving some and getting some
Driving attitude: “Get it settled—quickly.”
Strengths: Use when expedient solution is needed because of time limitation Use when temporary solution is needed for a complex issue Use when at an impasse in a situation where issue is not very important to either party Weaknesses: Can short-cut a needed process of working through an issue Parties may give up something important that they may regret later Parties may feel suspicious regarding how much the other is really giving up Can leave both parties ultimately unsatisfied because of what is given up
Tuesday - Ways of Dealing with Conflict
11
COLLABORATION
Description: Values both relationship and task Attempts to work with the other party to find a solution, which fully satisfies both of them
Driving attitude: “Work it through—no matter what it takes.”
Strengths: Each party “wins” because they are fully satisfied Parties are able to learn from each other, find misunderstandings, merge insights, work through feelings, seek/receive forgiveness, etc. All of these can strengthen relationships and complete the task
Weaknesses: Can often be very time consuming and emotionally draining Sometimes no fully satisfying solution can be found
Tuesday - Conflict Resolution Case studies 12
Conflict Resolution Case studies
Thumbs Down for Small Group I’ve been part of a small group the last couple of years. It’s been something I have really liked, except this year things are different. Most of the year was good, but lately I don’t really like going. I feel like it’s a waste of time. I’m also not a big fan of Eric. He talks ALL the time and often takes the group on a tangent. Last week, I was trying to share what’s been going on in my life. I had been really having a crummy week. I failed a test. My hours got cut at work and I really need the money. On top of all that, my younger brother (who is in high school) just found out his girlfriend is pregnant and he hasn’t told our parents yet. After telling the group these things, Eric just cracked a joke. It might have been his way to lighten the mood and make me laugh or something. But it made me angry. He then started talking about something that I don’t even remember. I wasn’t really listening. I’m thinking about checking out a different small group. I’ve been talking to my roommate about it. He thinks that might be a good idea. What do you think I should do? What is a God honoring way of resolving this conflict?
Roommate “Bonding” Help! My fears of getting stuck with a lame-o roommate came true. Let’s just say my roommate has a different personality than me. She loves to go bed early and get up early. This is the complete opposite of me. Her idea of a fun Friday night is curling up with her blanket and reading a book. Mine is having a bunch of friends over to order pizza and watch a movie. It’s caused a few awkward moments already and it’s just the 3rd week of school. I had a bunch of friends over the other night. It was a weeknight but I don’t have class on Friday so it wasn’t a big deal to me. I think my roommate just wanted to study. So she left to go the library for most of the night. When she got back she didn’t say anything to us and just got ready for bed.
Tuesday - Conflict Resolution Case studies

The next day there was a letter on my desk. She told me it’s been really frustrating her how I don’t seem to be respecting her. She has a hard time sleeping because I’m always up later than her. She said she doesn’t really like my friends coming over all the time. I’m frustrated because it seems like I have to change just because we’re different. It’s going to be a long year. What do you think I should do? What is a God honoring way of resolving this conflict?
Email Vent Session I just received an email from someone in the chapter. He’s not very excited about how things are going this year. A lot of things have changed in the last couple of years and he doesn’t like the changes. He doesn’t like how small groups are structured this year. He’s wondering why certain people are leaders and others aren’t. He is also worried that we’re getting too “cliquey”. They said that there are others who are thinking these things as well. He said that because I’m one of the current leaders that I should know what he and others are thinking. What should I do? What is a God honoring way of resolving this conflict?
Wednesday - Quiet Time (9am-9:30am) 15
Wednesday
Quiet Time (9am-9:30am) Enter (5 minutes)
Hear the invitation to be the Lord’s presence and with His people again today. Say yes to Him again this morning. Acknowledge the many ways you are tempted to wander in your relationship with Him. Name the people in your life in whom you find difficult to love and spend some a few minutes praying for them this morning.
Scripture Study (20 minutes)
Read as much of the story of Moses in Exodus 5-17 as you can. Often this is a familiar story. Reflect on what stands out to you. Pause anywhere that you sense the Lord speaking to you and share that with a fellow leader later in the day.

Wednesday - Missional Multi-ethnicity: Personal Reflection
21
Missional Multi-ethnicity: Personal Reflection The pursuit of multi-ethnicity will come with some costs to us individually and as a community – but the reward as a bigger picture of who God is and a deeper walk with Jesus. What next steps will I commit to as a leader in InterVarsity and as an apprentice of Jesus in order to better pursue real multi-ethnicity?
For your chapter, what people groups are present on campus but not present in your community? What might contribute to that What places (if any) exist on your campus for partnership or new witness as you pursue multi-ethnicity? What personal next steps is God calling you to as a result of this session? (Personal displacement? Cross-cultural mentoring or discipleship? Growing in your own ethnic identity? Learning opportunities?) What will you have to sacrifice to pursue those next steps? What spaces in your chapter do you have influence (think: meetings, structure, people, vision, etc)? How will you lead change in those places you have influence this fall?
Wednesday - Cultural Gifts Hedgehog Activity
Cultural Gifts Hedgehog Activity Mission out of the Fullness of Our Identity
What are you deeply passionate about/what is
life giving for you?
What is the need in your chapter/on
campus?
Wednesday - Cultural Gifts Hedgehog Activity
23
Step 1: Understanding your passions Think about what make you passionate on campus and in being a part of your chapter. What keeps you engaged as a part of this ministry? What inspires you about the vision of InterVarsity/your chapter?
Step 2: Understanding Your Unique Cultural Gifts With this dimension your aim is to understand what your cultural/ethnic group or background brings to the body of Christ. First, be able to identify your ethnicity and cultural background, for some of us this is easy and for some of us we have multiple layers to our ethnic and cultural background. Embrace the fullness of your identity and how it has shaped you and the way you see God and others. There are obviously overlaps in our difference cultures. There is not a singular experience for any culture and this is not meant to perpetuate stereotypes. Example: a black student on the team might identify the unique cultural gift of Gospel music or a Bi-racial Black & Latin@ student might identify that they come from two cultures who bring the gift of celebration.
Step 3: Understanding the Needs of your chapter and your campus To operate strategically and effectively in the mission field of your campus community, you must know your campus. What are the weaknesses of your campus community? What are the strengths? Who are the marginalized or unseen on your campus? Where is there concentrated areas of sin and brokenness on your campus? Where is there no witness on your campus?
Step 4: Assessing the Overlap Where do you see overlap of all three circles? This is where the Lord is inviting you to partner with the Spirit for mission on campus. How can you apply this overlap practically to your leadership in your chapter and on the mission field?
Determine 2 concrete next steps to lead in mission in the fullness of your identity.

CFW Large Group Observations
You all know how to do inductive Bible Study. This week we will use the inductive process to refine our LG back on campus. It always helps to step back and observe how others lead. This week I want you to observe (while still being engaged) several different aspects of LG, which are listed below. We will be spending a good amount of time on Wednesday sharing our observations and talking about how we can implement some of the things done well here at CFW, back on campus to make LG better. Application then comes in the fall during our LG’s. What is the atmosphere like before LG starts?
How does LG start? (Song, prayer, scripture, high or low energy, etc.)
How do they transition smoothly to the next thing?
What did you like about announcements?
What was musical worship like?
How was it multi-ethnic?
What did you enjoy about the exposition?
When and how is vision casted? (Announcement, scripture, during song, etc.)
Where was scripture used?
How did they end
